New York, SANA \u2013 UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres affirmed that there’s no alternative for a political solution for the crisis in Syria, calling for self-restraint following the US aggression against Syria.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Friday, Guterres said that due to the risk posed by escalation, he calls for self-restraint to avoid any action that would exacerbate the suffering of the Syrian people, affirming that the political solution is the only way to end the crisis in Syria.<\/p>\n
He called on all sides to renew their commitment to pushing forward with the Geneva talks, asserting that the political solution is vital for making progress in fighting terrorism.<\/p>\n
In turn, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said that the international workgroup on Syria will convene on Friday upon the request of Russia following the US aggression.<\/p>\n
De Mistura’s office said in a statement that the cessation of combat activities committee at the workgroup will hold an urgent meeting later today which the Special Envoy will chair, and that the co-chair of the group Russia called for holding the meeting and the US, the other co-chair, agreed to participate in it.<\/p>\n
The United States carried out a blatant aggression at dawn on Friday targeting a Syrian Arab Army airbase in the central region with missiles, claiming the lives of six, injuring others, and causing considerable material damage, while 9 civilians including 4 children were killed by missiles fired by the US on a number of villages in the southeastern countryside of Homs province.<\/p>\n
